Jarba Takes Part in GCC Summit, Accuses Regime of Arming Qaida-Linked ISIL

إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية W460

Syrian opposition leader Ahmed Jarba on Tuesday appealed for urgent help for the Syrian opposition and civilians as he took part in the opening session of the 34th Gulf Cooperation Council Summit in Kuwait.

"The Syrian people need you today to tell the whole world that the Syrian regime will have no future in the country," said Jarba, who also thanked Kuwait for launching an "aid fund" without providing any details.

Jarba, head of the mainstream opposition National Coalition, accused President Bashar Assad's regime of "supplying arms" to the al-Qaida-linked Islamic State in Iraq and Levant (ISIL) in a bid to defeat the uprising.

Jarba reiterated that the opposition had agreed to attend next month's Geneva 2 peace conference under conditions including that Assad plays no role in any transitional government.

He also accused Lebanon's Hizbullah of intervening militarily in Syria because of “sectarian” motives, saying “the slaughter of thousands of Syrians” at the hands of the regime and its allies aggravated “the anger of the extremists in the other camp.”

So Jarba What is it:
You said,
1. the Assad regime is arming the extremists.
2. Then at the and of article, you said, “the slaughter of thousands of Syrians” at the hands of the regime and its allies aggravated “the anger of the extremists in the other camp.”
So now, I am really confused: Is the regime arming the anger or aggravating the extremists? Please text me the answer: 1800 confused.

ISIL is manipulated and infiltrated since 2003, like most terrorist groups. I'll quote few that Assads supported in the past :
ISIS, PKK, fath al islam ,asala, fplp gc, carlos, abu nidal, HA, amal militia...
Feel free to complete the list.

Let me quote you what was documented in every history book:
17 Saudi men killed 3,300 work-goers on September 11, 2001
Saudi inspired and financed men bomb London 2005 killing 157 people
Saudi financed and inspired men bombed Madrid 2006 killing 102 people
Saudi financed and inspired men are suicide attacking Shiaa and Christians every freaking day killing millions since 2004
Saudi and M14 financed and inspired men are suicide bombing Syrians innocent every freaking day killing thousands.
Conclusion: every terrorists is Saudi-M14 not every Saudi-M14 is terrorist.

You reveal your bias and prove that you are only here for propaganda after saying every terrorist is from a single ethnic group of people or place. How foolish would someone have to be to believe what you have just said? Do you think your audience are 5-year-olds? Actually i truly believe a 5 year-old would still question your "conclusion", so where might that put you on the spectrum of intelligence? Alas, we live in time of truth versus clear falsehood, yet people believe the false because of their wicked desires.

Mr, Jarba express somthing that I have said för almost one year ego, namely Syrian supporting of the al-Qaida-linked Islamic State in Iraq and Levant (ISIL). I as an Iranian political analyser repeatedly have said that: Russian, Iran, Hezbolah and even Noor almaleki, clandestinely support Al-Qaida to oblige the oposition and the west to take side either withe Asad,s Regime or AL-Qaida. This is their strategi

And the same man: Nuri Almaliki said, these terrorist went to Syria in 2001 from Iraq. and the same man said, "all of these terrorists are inspired, financed by Saudi Arabia."

""Jarba, head of the mainstream opposition National Coalition, accused President Bashar Assad's regime of "supplying arms" to the al-Qaida-linked Islamic State in Iraq and Levant (ISIL) in a bid to defeat the uprising.""

How do you negotiate with one who promotes delusional lies ???

that is the plan: manipulate extremists to make people back you up under the pretext of fighting against terrorism...
syrian always played that game and M8ers are quick to forget it! what a surrise!

"Syria starts fires in order to give itself a pretext to extinguish them"

"One cannot rationally dissociate the Syrian regime from terrorism. Syria provides safe haven for a myriad of terrorist organizations, directs their operations..."

"the Syrian regime uses these terrorist organizations as instruments of pressure in a foreign policy strategy that has earned for Syria a "no questions asked" attitude from the free world"
michel aoun 2003!!

could M8ers say how present assad regime is now different from the assad regime before? how can he manipulated terrorist organizations before and not now? LOL

talking about the syrian regime : "Terrorist organizations do not stand on their own in terms of identity; instead, they are proxies to regimes that provide them with financial means and an operational framework for their terrorist activities. The suggestion heard in some circles that these regimes can be charged with the task of dismantling terrorist organizations is the height of naiveté and folly."

"Any perceived cooperation in the war on terrorism does not represent a strategic choice on the part of the Syrian regime to combat terrorism; it is only a tactical and temporary ploy to dodge responsibility for the central role that Syria has had in sponsoring terrorism during the last three decades"
aoun 2003 US senate! LOL

" Furthermore, let's not forget that the clandestine nature of these regimes and organizations would allow them to quickly and easily restructure and reemerge under completely new aliases, ready to resume operations in full capacity...."

@ peace

I don't care what Aoun said about it ...

Assad is not arming ISIL and Iran absolutely does not support Qaeda.

You are delusional, past the point of rational discourse ...
